Errors are: After pulling out all 12HDDs for other project and entering 12 other new empty hard drives like Dell 2TB, controller switched in Lock-Down mode. Errors:

Hello Hasan Y,

What will need to happen is that you will need to have the password reset cable that came with your MD3400 so that support can clear the lockdown on both controllers.  The reason that your system is in a lockdown state, is that all configuration was not removed from your drives prior to them being removed.  When you powered up your MD3400 with the new drives the database is looking for the old drives & since it didn’t find them it is locking the database to protect the configuration.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Hello Hasan Y,

The battery error that you are getting most likely means it needs to be replaced.  Depending on where you are located the cost may differ for support to clear the error.  I know that for USA & Canada it is $1,000 for support to resolve your lockdown issue and get your system to boot normally.

Please let us know if you have any other questions.
